Synthesis of photoreactive phosphatidylethanolamine and its interaction with phospholipase A2.
A photoreactive derivative of phosphatidylethanolamine, N-(4-azidobenzoyl)phosphatidylethanolamine (AB-PE), was synthesized by acylation of phosphatidylethanolamine with an N-hydroxysuccinimide ester of 4-azidobenzoic acid.

The intracellular signalling pathway for a-adrenoceptor-mediated negative inotropy was studied pharmacologically in isolated adult mouse ventricle. The negative inotropy was inhibited by GF-109203X, a nonselective protein kinase C inhibitor.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Isolevuglandin-modified phosphatidylethanolamine is metabolized by NAPE-hydrolyzing phospholipase D
Lipid aldehydes including isolevuglandins (IsoLGs) and 4-hydroxynonenal modify phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to form proinflammatory and cytotoxic adducts.

Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

One of the most important constituents of the cell membrane is arachidonic acid. Lipids forming part of the cellular membrane can be metabolized in a variety of cellular types of the body by a family of enzymes termed phospholipases: phospholipase A2 ...

Transphosphatidylation by Phospholipase D
Abstract Transphosphatidylase activity was recognized in several plant tissues as well as in extracts. It was attributed to phospholipase D. This enzyme was purified 110-fold from Savoy cabbage. The ratio of its hydrolase to its transphosphatidylase activity remained constant throughout the purification. Additional evidence supports the conclusion that

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Regulation of phospholipase D [PDF]
Structural studies of plant and bacterial members of the phospholipase D (PLD) superfamily are providing information about the role of the conserved HKD domains in the structure of the catalytic center and the catalytic mechanism of mammalian PLD isozymes (PLD1 and PLD2).

Multiple ETS family transcription factors bind mutant p53 via distinct interaction regions
Mutant p53 gain‐of‐function is thought to be mediated by interaction with other transcription factors. We identify multiple ETS transcription factors that can bind mutant p53 and found that this interaction can be promoted by a PXXPP motif. ETS proteins that strongly bound mutant p53 were upregulated in ovarian cancer compared to ETS proteins that ...
